While John D. Brock
stood before the congregation at Mossie Simpson Pentecostal Church in Jenson,
Kentucky, he quoted the Bible, saying “take up serpents.” At the same time he
also held a venomous snake, which bit him. But, to prove his faith, Brock
refused all treatment and went home with his brother, where he died. (http://wate.com/2015/07/28/kentucky-man-dies-of-snake-bite-at-church/)
